Possibly. On the other hand, Jerry Ulesmann, photography's 
living Mr. Experimental, has assorted digital tools at his disposal 
(and has for some time), yet he chooses the conventional 
darkroom for the majority of his work, presumably because that's 
the way he works best.  Choice is always good, whichever 
direction one chooses to go, which isn't always obvious.
